Many Thanks to Leary, Cease2, Venus and Sunset77 for officially joining our research team.

I apologize for the long wait.I spoke to some of you, quite some time ago.Unfortunately, it took me a bit longer to communicate with everyone, than I expected... and then my computer died... etc, etc, etc.

I will be sending each of you a brief "tutorial" in the coming days, on how to create and save drafts.Stay tuned...

Sunset:I will be sending you a "google invitation".You have to "join" the blog for this to be complete.When you receive the "invitation"... just follow the basic directions.It's basically two "right clicks" of the mouse.(Believe me... if Venus can figure it out...) LOL!Just kidding Venus! : )

Wow Lynyrd...been months since I have been on and I see this! Wonderful news and great stories that I am catching up on. I also see you have a lot of new commenters...you have come along way from the beginning!

I know how great I felt when Lynyrd gave me my title. I had asked him for money & he was so relieved when thats all I wanted was money & not a title. But I hang tuff and beat a title out of him just like my hero Woody on Cheers did.Very cool: Leary,Cease2,Venus & Sunset77, I have been a long time fan.Bobbie.

I love that phrase, 'opened the books.' Of course, you do understand that the only way out is feet first....cause, 'once you're a jet you are always a jet from your first cigarette to your last dying breath'

"leave the gun, take the canoli".words to live by for sure. and one of my all-time favorite movie lines. I thought Mr Dill should be Professor Emeritus but Consigliere is perfect.It is a real joy in my life to hang out here and share ideas and thoughts with some really cool and provocative folk (Trilby, come back please). And thanks especially to Lynyrd for all his hard work and just being such an old time stand-up guy.Let's howl at the moon, curse the wrong turns of Charlie, remember and respect those who paid the ultimate price, and just keep our minds spinning with new thoughts and ideas about an event and time that still resonates with us all.

hi guys i just found on youtube an interview by born again christian bob larson with james mason, michael moynihan and boyd rice. this interview includes doris tate and these people are extremely rude and cruel to her. as usual she shows grace and class. these guys were all friends with schreck until their little power group imploded. just go to youtune and type in james manson, michael moynihan and boyd rice vs. bob larson. i heard this live and it's just as outrageous today as it was in the early 90's.

I enjoyed the radio interview with Saint C. On the subject of N.S. especialy like that he gave him credit as a serious dude but he didnt like how calous NS comes across as pertains to the victims. S.C. didnt say it point blank but I caught his drift. I know he was unconfortable when B.D. made the comments about him & Marliese being an on line item and B.D. finally got the hint.

Katie said>>>Hey Marliese, did you catch Circumstance's interview last night?<<<<<

Hi Katie, No, i didn't. I wanted to, but the time just didn't work out. It's on at 5:00 here, and more often than not, we're off doing something then.

And bobby, what's this my name being mentioned? I'm not feeling good about any hint of an idea that St C would have been embarrassed over the fact that he's always been fair to me...unlike some other people on the blogs.

I didn't hear the broadcast, and hearing that my name was mentioned, am asking because I would personally be mortified if St. C was embarrassed about the fact that he's always been respectful, whether we've agreed or disagreed.

Bobby you made a comment on "another blog" about why would the Family worry about Shorty taking over Spahn's Ranch when they were moving to DV.

You were right.

The reason Shorty was killed was because Charlie thought Shorty knew too much about the TLB murders. These people were shooting their mouths off all over the place about "killing pigs", and Shorty was picking up on it. That's why he was killed.

Charlie was already thinking about going to the desert back in July of 1969. After he shot Crowe, he was afraid of the Black Panthers. He thought he killed Crowe and was paranoid about the aftermath.

This was the reason that Gary was killed. Charlie thought he had inherited $5000 and he wanted it to move to the desert. He didn't get it because Gary didn't have any money.

And I love how people keep saying Tex was in charge. Tex had NOTHING to do with Gary's murder.

Congrats to the new staff writers. Re: Johnny Echols and Bobby B....someone had asked for Bobby's contact info. This is the last e-mail address I have: bobby@beausoleil.net. Not sure he will address it.

This is probably old news but somebody had posted this on another forum for something different, but found the Manson pictures fascinating as I revisited it:

Lastly, congrats to St. C on his broadcast. Did not get a chance to catch it...hopefully I will be able to access it.

"Charlie Manson is a five foot seven schizophrenic, who if it weren't for the murder of Sharon Tate, would never be known or discussed. And I'm not saying he isn't funny and entertaining. I'm saying he's a dime a dozen criminal-class punk, who had the good fortune of running into some middle class pseudo-revolutionary white girls." -- Tom G

"The simple and undeniable truth, is that Charlie and the gang were/are the biggest idiots, morons and imbeciles on the planet." -- Leary7
